Rick Tyler, the Senior Communications Advisor for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), issued a public apology after spreading a false story reporting that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) made a nasty comment to a Cruz staffer about the Bible.
"I want to apologize to Senator Marco Rubio for posting an inaccurate story about him here earlier today," Tyler wrote on Facebook after sharing the false story online. "The story misquoted a remark the Senator made to the staffer. I assumed wrongly that the story was correct."
The false report indicated that Rubio said that there were "not many answers" in the Bible -- when in fact, Rubio commented that "all the answers" were in the book of scripture.
Tyler indicated that he communicated with the Cruz staffer in the video, who explained that Rubio had made a "friendly and appropriate remark" about the Bible.
"Since the audio was unclear, I should not have assumed the story was correct," Tyler wrote. "I've deleted the post because I would not knowingly post a false story. But the fact remains that I did post it when I should have checked its accuracy first. I regret the mistake."

I see you like to pick fights. You’re going to get one.
I also see you’re absorbing the personality of your messiah Cruz, calling your political opponents “liars.” Nice. And maybe I’m not a US citizen, Black, Army Captain, or Female, right?
It is the constant drumbeat of that specific narrative that IMHO hurt him in SC. He may not have won, but he surely should have come in second by a large margin. I do believe the perception came through loud and clear that the Cruz campaign is dishonest and it most definitely hurt him on Saturday. Agree that his campaign needs a major shake-up or he can kiss any opportunity he might have goodbye.

I agree. Rubio moles out to hurt Cruz, who knows.
We must be seeing different people, then, because the smug and creepy factor are off the charts with Cruz.
Cruz hired sleazy people to run his campaign. This is all on him.
All... None... What difference does it make?
Unbelievable.
Trump calls names and shouts insults but Cruz does not.
It is pointless to engage with you. Bye.
I hope you didn’t trip over that log coming out of your eye.
Wow!!! There seems to be a reoccurring theme of fabrication and dishonesty in the Cruz campaign.
.
Wow, what has happened to the guy that calls himself “BlackFemaleArmyCaptain?”
.
ANOTHER new sign up!
Welcome to FR......
Leadership check for Cruz. He’s not showing much of late.
Oh, just another" Christian " trying to help me along the path.
" It" also provides some guidance in the process of removing an obstacle in another's eye.
Yes, he repeated is several times. In what context, I do not know, but knowing Trump it was probably not definitive. Regardless It is a news story which continues to be available. Not to mention Coburn has said Cruz is dishonest, on multiple occasions, less harsh verbiage perhaps, but the his message is clear.
Regarding Cruz and staffers. There’s a looooong pattern of deceit. I find the two apples and oranges.
Bye.
.
Yes, sir, that is how you are known here.
I agree, but I also think there have been some inaccurate things said by our front runner, too....
I really will be glad to see the primary season end. Let’s get on with the important business of reversing Valerie’s agenda.
You know this how exactly
I’d like to think you’re right but there is so much of this
He’s hurting himself and helping the robo candidate
